Ronda Rousey's History Making Victory at UFC 157
Just by stepping into the cage, Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche had already made history.
But it was Rousey who, after recording another savage victory with her signature move, demonstrated why she could be a trailblazer in women's sports for years to come.
Rousey won the UFC's first women's bout Saturday night, beating Carmouche on an armbar with 11 seconds left in the first round of their bantamweight title fight at UFC 157.
Rousey (7-0) defended her belt with her seemingly inevitable move, forcing Carmouche to tap out after bending back her arm. Rousey raised both arms in victory while flat on the canvas after the longest fight of the mixed martial artist's ascendant career.
"Is this real life right now? I'm not sure," said Rousey, a former judo star with just two years of pro MMA experience.
Former UFC champion Lyoto Machida counterpunched his way to a split decision over Dan Henderson on the undercard at Honda Center, and bantamweight Urijah Faber beat Ivan Menjivar with an acrobatic rear naked choke late in the first round.
But the sellout crowd largely showed up to see Rousey, whose unique combination of star power, athleticism and skill singlehandedly ended UFC President Dana White's long-standing disinterest in women's MMA. White even put Rousey and Carmouche in the main event of a pay-per-view show by the sport's dominant promotion.
Rousey was awarded the equivalent of the bantamweight belt she won in the now-defunct Strikeforce before her first UFC fight, but quickly showed she deserved it.
"I was actually less nervous walking out than I was for some of my earlier fights," Rousey said. "I felt like the UFC champion, and I know how hard I am working. This was a wild ride, and I can't wait to get back in the octagon."
Rousey and Carmouche didn't disappoint in their pressure-packed debuts. Although Rousey was heavily favored, Carmouche (7-3) actually had Rousey in trouble early, nearly landing a rear naked choke while clinging to Rousey's back in the opening two minutes.
There's no amount of press that can save these girls from me.
Rousey, who had never been seriously threatened in any previous bout, barely escaped the chokehold by getting her chin and mouth underneath Carmouche's arm. Rousey gradually imposed her will on the former Marine after that, rolling her across the canvas and finally getting side control on Carmouche before patiently separating her arms to land an armbar.
"That was the most vulnerable a position I've been in so far in my career," Rousey said. "That was pretty tight, that neck crank, and I was very happy to get out of it. She had the choke across my mouth and ... her forearm was pushing against my teeth. That can't have been any more fun for her than it was for me. Crazy sport we're in, huh?"
Rousey has won all seven of her professional MMA bouts and three amateur fights by armbar, a judo move that has dislocated at least two prior opponents' elbows.
"I had to learn to take my time in MMA, and I was just able to keep a clear head," said Rousey, who became the first American woman to win an Olympic judo medal in Beijing.
Rousey dealt with constant attention from media and fans in recent weeks, a function of her rising stardom in the UFC and the larger sports world. She said the pressure wasn't anything she couldn't handle.
"There's no amount of press that can save these girls from me," she said.
Carmouche earned a huge ovation from the sellout crowd for giving Rousey more trouble than she had ever faced.
"I thought I had it," said Carmouche, who served three tours of duty in Iraq. "Like everything else, you make a mistake, and it turns around."
Machida (19-3), the former light heavyweight champion, had lost three of his previous five bouts before edging Henderson (29-9) in a slow, technical fight. Machida used his typical elusiveness and unorthodox, karate-based techniques to pick away at Henderson.
Both fighters raised their arms in victory after the final horn, but Machida landed 68 percent of the fight's significant strikes, with a 23-8 advantage in head strikes.
Two judges favored Machida 29-28, while the third had Henderson winning 29-28.
"He's a very great opponent for me, and I have a lot of respect for him," Machida said while fans booed. "My strategy was to keep the fight standup, and I think I got it. I think I completely dominated the first round, second round, third round."
Faber (28-6) got his career back on track with an impressive victory over Menjivar (25-11). With his home-state crowd behind him, Faber took early control on the ground and then finished Menjivar by clinging to his back and wrapping both legs around his standing opponent, forcing Menjivar to tap out while on his feet with 26 seconds left in the opening round.
"Ivan is a very crafty veteran," Faber said. "I just attacked the neck. He let me hold on too long, and that was that."
Although Faber has a huge fan following for his years of success in other promotions, he was just 2-2 since moving to the UFC two years ago, dropping narrow decisions to bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and Renan Barao.
Robbie Lawler stopped Josh Koscheck with 1:03 left in the first round with a series of strikes, earning the knockout of the night award in his first UFC fight since October 2004. Court McGee also beat Josh Neer by unanimous decision in his welterweight debut.

Dancing with the Stars Episode Recap: Monday, March 24, 2014
Dancing with the Stars cut its first two (yes, two!) couples of the season. Did Billy Dee Williams overcome his 15? Plus: Get the voting details on the switch-up.
Guys, I'm back again! Liz is off doing her best Elaine dance somewhere. Just kidding. (Not really.) Ask her for specifics next week. I didn't watch the premiere last week, but I've since seen Billy Dee completely out-danced by those Stormtroopers, Amy out-dance people with two legs, and Meryl and Charlie kill it. You know I love me some Olympians! And I hear that Erin has been aces. See what happens when you put someone with quick wit and human emotions behind the mic?
Twist! There's a double elimination tonight, and the first couple could go at any time. You are cruel, TPTB, cruel. Tom and Erin will be telling all the couples where they stand throughout the night before all of the pairs dance.
Results Part 1
Drew and Cheryl are safe and will dance first.
Drew Carey and Cheryl Burke: jive
Am I the only one who thinks of Drew Lachey when I hear "Drew and Cheryl"? Mr. Carey has a lot to live up to. Drew's definitely the adorable dad of the season and is like a chubbier, less polished, less toothy version of Mr. Entertainer himself Donny Osmond. He's totally going for it, but there's not enough pop in his kicks and flicks. Len likes the content and wants him to work on his posture. Bruno calls him the "consummate stage animal." Carrie Ann says he has great spring in his step.
Score: 21
Results Part 2
Billy Dee and Emmy are safe, and Diana is not happy. I'm gonna need a GIF of that face ASAP, Internet. Meryl and Maks, and Danica and Val are also safe.
Danica McKellar and Val Chmerkovskiy: samba
Ugh. They're really gonna play up this Danica vs. Candace "rivalry," aren't they? Take a shot every time each couple mentions the other's name. Birthday boy Val wants to get a standing O, and Danica breaks down in rehearsals. This is not standing O-worthy. It's serviceable. The skill is there, but Danica is too tight and not dancing with the abandon you need for a samba. Plus, she's overselling the weird O face. I get the feeling she might be too hard on herself. What is with Val getting all tense overachievers (ahem, Elizabeth)? Bruno says she doesn't finish details. Carrie Ann says she dominated and was "flawless." Uh, were we watching the same dance? Len tells her to extend her legs, but calls the routine fantastic.
Score: 24
Billy Dee Williams and Emma Slater: tango
Billy wanted to cry after last week and feels defeated. Emma brings in Lindsay and Jenna to incorporate into the routine, presumably to boost his morale and to distract his lack of movement. Actually, compared to last week, this is... a little better since he can stay in hold. Bless his heart. Billy hits all the steps this time, but it's like watching a baby elephant learn to walk. And not in a good way. Let's hope they will take Emma off AARP duty next season. Carrie Ann says he handled the choreography well but he needs more content. Len says there wasn't enough attack but wants him to have fun. Bruno says he took the minimalist approach.
Score: 15
Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: swing
Maks wants to throw Meryl, but he's worried because he's never done it before. It's kind of cute to see Maks work with a partner he respects and admires. He's a completely different animal. You can tell it's mutual and it's a no bullsh-- kind of partnership. All I can say is at least Meryl followed Billy and not the other way around. This is a workout and an acrobatic treat. Meryl is a natural and keeps up with Maks, but she does get sloppy here and there. And she's giving fantastic face, as per yoosh. "That swing had wings," Len says. Bruno says she lost timing a few times. Carrie Ann likes that Meryl has Maks working his butt off. Listen, guys, Queen Meryl can do no wrong.
Score: 25
Results Part 3
Amy and Derek, and Candace and Mark are safe. Diana and Henry have the lowest combined score and votes and are dunzo.
"I wish we could've done our dance," Diana says to Henry as they walk down. Like I said, cruel, TPTB, cruel! Tom grants them her wish and they perform their cha-cha. Diana is totally the drunk aunt at your wedding, amirite? They even toss in "the swim" for good measure. At least her dress was far more flattering this week.
Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas: rumba
Welcome back to Dancing with the Stars Weekly magazine. Jeremy Miller, who dumped Candace for Danica back in the day, is in the house and wisely refuses to say if he's rooting for one over the other. This must be the most press he's gotten since Growing Pains: Return of the Seavers. Candace reiterates that she wants to keep things modest and references her Christian faith. She wants the rumba not to be sexual, but sensual rather. It is, and Candace has great body awareness and lines, but there's not enough flow and connection between her and Mark. And was it just me or did the routine seem super short? Carrie Ann thinks it was too similar to her contemporary. Len says it was too hard and aggressive, but says she did well. Bruno loves that she dances from her heart but agrees with Carrie Ann and Len.
Score: 21
Amy Purdy and Derek Hough: swing
Amy is worried about her legs flying off because there's a button that locks them in place. As Derek blogged, they put a bottle cap on the button while they dance. Yeah, I really don't know how Amy does it. This is awesome. She's quick and on time, which is incredible considering how fast the beat is and the fact that she's also staying in sync with Derek. What's awesome is that Derek could've packed it with a ton of acrobatic tricks like Meryl and Maks to mask/ease up on her legs, but instead opted for more content. He did, however, smartly confine the whole routine to one stage. Len says Amy's amazing. Bruno loves the touches of Charleston and jazz, and says she only missed an arm pass. Derek blames it on his jacket. Carrie Ann loves the synchronicity.
Score: 24
Results Part 4
Charlie and Sharna, and James and Peta are safe.
James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd: salsa
James wants to wear less clothing, which is right up Peta's alley, obviously. They also have their eye on Cody so they're basically the male version of Danica vs. Candace. This is just a whole lotta eye candy (not that there's anything wrong with that), but it's a shame that Peta is such a limited choreographer. Everything is the same with her. Shimmy, spin, skin, shimmy, spin, skin and legs! James has a lot of potential, but I fear she will squander it to make him her personal Ken doll. Bruno says he came out of his shell. "Dayum!" Carrie Ann growls, as she inducts him into the Sexy Dancing with the Stars Hall of Fame. Len wants him to ease off the gas a little.
Score: 25
Charlie White and Sharna Burgess: tango
Breaking news! Charlie mentions his gal pal of five years for like the third time ever (she's 2006 Olympic ice dancing silver medalist Tanith Belbin) as Maks tries to turn him into a bad boy to seduce Sharna. The dark theme of the routine is hilarious juxtaposed with adorable Charlie. As much as I love Charlie's Blue Lagoon hair made of magic and puppies, it's sort of taking me out of the drama of the routine. He does get into character well and completely takes control of the dance. His frame is also solid and his footwork is sharp. Carrie says he looked like Baryshnikov. Go home, Carrie Ann, you're drunk. Len reprimands them for breaking hold. "I love you when you're bad," Bruno says.
Score: 25
NeNe Leakes and Tony Dovolani: jive
NeNe is learning the jive for her husband, Greg, who apparently has always wanted to do it with her. The jive definitely suits NeNe's personality, but her footwork leaves a lot to be desired. It's flat and flaccid, and she can barely kick more than like an inch off the floor. Len says she's full of fun. Bruno wants her to be sharper. Carrie Ann wants her arms to be bigger, which Tony takes issue with and continues to rant in the celebquarium.
Score: 21
Sean Avery and Karina Smirnoff: salsa
Sean knows that he carries himself like a sociopath, right? It's creepy, but I sort of dig it because I think he has some strange, dry sense of humor. And Karina seems to enjoy him, so he must be doing something right. I do agree with him it's weird if people walk around with a smile on their faces all the time. Sean's surprisingly light on his feet and has great rhythm, but he's not selling the whole fun, sexy package of the routine. Nor does he take his shirt off. No Sexy Hall of Fame induction for you! Bruno wants him to ignite his hips. Carrie Ann says he's very authentic. Len says it was "much, much better" than last week.
Score: 21
Cody Simpson and Witney Carson: tango
Witney busts out the posture bar to work on Cody's technique, but doesn't do anything to deflate whatever it is that's on his head. I'm semi-distracted from their glo-sticked-out formal wear, but it's a nice classic yet youthful routine for them. Plus, it includes the Moonwalk. Cody's posture starts off well, but he starts unraveling midway through to get to Witney's level and loses his footing as well. It is good to see that Witney's more of a Chelsie than a Lindsay when it comes to choreography. Carrie Ann loves how he stylizes his dances. Len says it wasn't compact enough, but loves the Moonwalk. Bruno says it was like watching Edward in Twilight. Can't make this up.
Score: 22
Results Part 5
It's between the last three couples. NeNe and Tony are safe. Sean and Karina, and Cody and Witney are not necessarily the bottom two. And the second couple hitting the road is... Sean and Karina.
"I made a new friend," Sean says. "I wish you could've seen more of Sean's personality," Karina adds.
Was that supposed to be suspenseful? Because it wasn't if you're gonna put someone up against a teen heartthrob with a gazillion teenybopper fans.
PSA: Voting for the partner switch-up has commenced and will end March 31. You can do so by tweeting #DWTS with the celebrity's and pro's first names. This will work out well. (Not.)
What did you think? Did the right two couples go home? Who would you induct into the Sexy Dancing with the Stars Hall of Fame? Is Charlie the next Baryshnikov? (No.) Who is Jeremy Miller secretly rooting for? Who's your current pick to win?

Green Curry Turkey Burgers with Asian-Style Cucumber Relish - Outdoor Wednesday
Blue River Oregon
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This was intended to be a competition burger but our travel plans assure that, even if chosen, we'll be no where near the Napa Valley when the Build a Better Burger cook-off is held. A person younger than myself might decide to save the recipe for another year, but I've reached an age where that doesn't make a lot of sense, and I'd rather share it with you now than see it sit in limbo for another year. This is really easy to do. While the relish is best made several hours before assembling the burgers, their actual construction takes minutes and uses ingredients that can be found in any large grocery store. While the burgers look all-American , they are really Thai-inspired and capture the hot, sweet, sour and salty tastes that are the hallmark of Thai cooking. I have fudged a bit here and have used a range of measures for the green curry paste that's used to flavor the sauce and add heat to the burgers. Commercially made curry paste tends to be very hot and can kill the taste buds very quickly. If you are not familiar with it, start with the smaller amount and taste carefully as you go along. The goal here is a warming heat, not fire. The burgers can be cooked stovetop or on a grill. They should be turned only once. They are moist burgers and will fall part if you play with them too much. I usually serve these on a brioche-type roll, but any bread with a soft crust can be used. I think you'll like these burgers. Here's the recipe.
Green Curry Turkey Burgers with Asian-Style Cucumber Relish...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
1 large English cucumber, cut in 1/4 to 1/2-inch dice
1/4 cup finely minced red onion
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh hot green chilies
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt, divided use
1 cup mayonnaise
1 to 3 teaspoons Thai-style green curry paste
1-1/4 pounds ground turkey meat (I prefer thighs)
4 lightly toasted brioche-style rolls
Garnish: Cilantro sprigs
1) Combine vinegar, water, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium sauce pan and cook, stirring occasionally, over moderate heat until sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
2) Combine cucumbers, onions and chiles in a small bowl. Cover with cooled dressing and chill for several hours.
3) Combine mayonnaise, green curry paste and reserved 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Mix well. Remove 1/4 cup of sauce to another small bowl and stir 1/2 cup drained cucumber relish into it.
4) Add relish mixture to ground turkey and mix just until combined. Shape into 4 patties. In a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat, cook patties for 4 minutes on each side. Spread reserved mayonnaise mixture on top and bottom of warm rolls. Place a pattie on bottom half of each roll and cover with relish and sprigs of cilantro. Set roll tops in place and serve. Yield: 4 servings.

I'm with you, Mary, about not waiting for the "proper" time to put up a post. I have not one but two cassoulets lounging in my drafts folder because I didn't get to them in the middle of winter and now here it is, spring. It's just silly not to post them.
All that aside, your burger looks superbly delicious, and I can't wait to make that relish. Happy travels!

Now, I always have fresh ones in the house. I want to try this relish. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a splendid burger Mary and a fabulous idea for me! I just bought some green curry in a sauce jar and thought I would use it with tofu, which does not excite me as much as this burger! Thanks so much!

We have a favorite restaurant here, Five Star Thai. The owners have become dear friends. In our circle of friends, they are sometimes teased about not having a hamburger on the menu. If they ever decided to go that route (which I'm sure they won't), this would be the "burger". It will, however, find a place on our menu soon.

I am sure these burgers would have been among the top contenders at the contest! What a unique flavor combination. I love infusing turkey burgers with spices and such...they are almost like sponges and showcase most things very nicely. Love this idea!

And thanks for the curry tips, Mary. I don't cook with it a lot and probably would have burned everyone mouths!
It's a super burger recipe...and the brioche roll would be perfect!

I participate in that contest every year: it is so much fun to experiment with recipes for it. My husband and I spend hours talking about flavor combinations :)
Thanks for sharing your recipe: sounds really tantalizing!

That burger looks great! I used a red Thai curry paste in a burger a while ago and it worked really well.

FreeBSD Manual Pages
CHOWN(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual CHOWN(8) NAME chown -- change file owner and group SYNOPSIS chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] owner[:group] file ... chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] :group file ... DESCRIPTION The chown utility changes the user ID and/or the group ID of the speci- fied files. Symbolic links named by arguments are silently left un- changed unless -h is used. The options are as follows: -H If the -R option is specified, symbolic links on the command line are followed and hence unaffected by the command. (Symbolic links encountered during traversal are not followed.) -L If the -R option is specified, all symbolic links are followed. -P If the -R option is specified, no symbolic links are followed. This is the default. -R Change the user ID and/or the group ID of the file hierarchies rooted in the files, instead of just the files themselves. Be- ware of unintentionally matching the ".." hard link to the parent directory when using wildcards like ".*". -f Do not report any failure to change file owner or group, nor mod- ify the exit status to reflect such failures. -h If the file is a symbolic link, change the user ID and/or the group ID of the link itself. -v Cause chown to be verbose, showing files as the owner is modi- fied. If the -v flag is specified more than once, chown will print the filename, followed by the old and new numeric user/group ID. -x File system mount points are not traversed. The -H, -L and -P options are ignored unless the -R option is specified. In addition, these options override each other and the command's actions are determined by the last one specified. The owner and group operands are both optional, however, one must be specified. If the group operand is specified, it must be preceded by a colon (``:'') character. The owner may be either a numeric user ID or a user name. If a user name is also a numeric user ID, the operand is used as a user name. The group may be either a numeric group ID or a group name. If a group name is also a numeric group ID, the operand is used as a group name. The ownership of a file may only be altered by a super-user for obvious security reasons. If chown receives a SIGINFO signal (see the status argument for stty(1)), then the current filename as well as the old and new file owner and group are displayed. EXIT STATUS The chown utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. COMPATIBILITY Previous versions of the chown utility used the dot (``.'') character to distinguish the group name. This has been changed to be a colon (``:'') character so that user and group names may contain the dot character. On previous versions of this system, symbolic links did not have owners. The -v and -x options are non-standard and their use in scripts is not recommended. SEE ALSO chgrp(1), chmod(1), find(1), chown(2), fts(3), symlink(7) STANDARDS The chown utility is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 ("POSIX.2") compli- ant. HISTORY A chown utility appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX. FreeBSD 13.0 August 24, 2022 FreeBSD 13.0

Moose population drops dramatically; hunting season will not open

A recently completed aerial survey of moose in northeastern Minnesota indicates the rate of population decline has accelerated dramatically.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today that the northeast population declined 35 percent from last year. Since 2010, the moose population has declined 52 percent.
In response to the survey results, the DNR will not open a 2013 state moose hunting season or consider opening future seasons unless the population recovers.
"The state's moose population has been in decline for years but never at the precipitous rate documented this winter," said Tom Landwehr, DNR commissioner. "This is further and definitive evidence the population is not healthy. It reaffirms the conservation community's need to better understand why this iconic species of the north is disappearing from our state."
Landwehr stressed the state's limited hunts are not the cause of the population decline.
"Yet taking this action is reasonable and responsible in light of latest data and an uncertain future," Landwehr said
Based on the aerial survey conducted in January, the new population estimate is 2,760 animals, down from 4,230 in 2012. The population estimate was as high as 8,840 as recently as 2006.
Completed in 2011, the DNR's moose management and research plan established biological and management thresholds for closing the season.
While those thresholds have not been met, DNR managers did not anticipate such a precipitous decline in the overall moose population when the thresholds were established.
"It's now prudent to control every source of mortality we can as we seek to understand causes of population decline,'' said Landwehr, explaining the rationale for closing the season.
To help solve why moose are rapidly dying, the DNR is leading the largest and most high-tech multi-partner moose research effort ever initiated.
Starting in January, wildlife researchers began fitting 100 moose in northeastern Minnesota with GPS tracking and data collection collars. This multi-year research project will investigate the causes of adult moose mortality, calf mortality, calf survival, moose use of existing habitat and habitat quality. To date, 92 collars have been placed on moose in the Grand Marais, Ely and Two Harbors areas.
Information and insights from this pioneering research may help identify management options that could stop or slow the moose population decline.
Rolf Peterson, a research professor at Michigan Technological University who is renowned for his study of the wolf-moose relationship on Lake Superior's Isle Royale and chaired the DNR's former moose advisory committee, concurred with the DNR's commitment to conduct pioneering research and discontinue hunting until more is known.
"The DNR's decision to suspend hunting makes sense given the disturbing and abrupt decline in moose numbers," Peterson said. "To me, the big news is the incredibly disappointing survey results. The hunting decision is simply a logical reaction to an uncertain situation that researchers are trying to resolve."
The DNR has conducted aerial moose population surveys in northeastern Minnesota since 1960. The survey involves flying transects in 49 randomly selected plots spread across the Arrowhead region of Minnesota. The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and 1854 Treaty Authority contributed funding and provided personnel for the annual survey.
A copy of the aerial survey report is available online at www.mndnr.gov/moose , a Web page that also provides field updates from moose researchers, an interactive map of the study area as well as photographs and video of field research activities.

This December, Papyrus hits the big screens. David caught James Cameron (or some oblivious designer) using Papyrus for the new Avatar movie. He even shows us how it's could be done in a few steps in 8 minutes in Photoshop.
Yeah, and can we do the poster and stuff with that font on all the Asian restaurants down at the mall? I love that font!We've received several submissions and tweets about this recently when the trailer was released. So there we have it. More Papyrus making it's way into major productions. But, there are people noticing, it's getting too far out of hand. And don't movies usually have their own custom fonts? I mean c'mon, this is a pretty intense looking multi-million-dollar production. Anyway, there it is. I guess James Cameron just really loves Papyrus.
Thanks to everyone who pointed this out to us.

It appears that a malaria vaccine will not be available for some time. According to Reuters,
"The world's first potential malaria vaccine proved only 30 percent effective in African babies in a crucial trial, calling into question whether it can be a useful weapon in the fight against the deadly disease."
Reading this reminded me of my own illness with malaria at the end of summer.
Back in September I contracted malaria while on a short trip back home in Kenya. Due to malaria's incubation period I only started feeling sick after I was back in Palo Alto. My illness set off a total freakout at the Stanford Hospital. No less than four medical students, besides the crowd from the infectious disease unit at the hospital, passed by my hospital bed to ask the EXACT same questions. And of course they wanted to keep me overnight. They had an IV drip already installed in my arm. I tried my best to tell the doctor that I didn't think I needed to be hospitalized to no avail.
The nurse who took my vitals put a mask on her face the moment I told her that I had malaria. I had to restrain myself from reminding her that malaria is not airborne.
A week later the Santa Clara County infectious disease office called me to get my details and ask me if I was feeling better. The government wanted to know where and how I got malaria. The grad student in me was fascinated by the level of state capacity in Santa Clara.
A few weeks before my Kenya visit I was in Fort Worth, TX. This was at the height of the West Nile virus outbreak that killed dozens of people. At the time health authorities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area were in the middle of spraying the area to kill all the vectors (mosquitoes). My girlfriend reminded me of the fact that as recent as when her parents were growing up in Grand Prairie, TX much of the American South still had to be sprayed regularly (with DDT) to get rid of disease-bearing mosquitoes.
The reason I recounted these stories is to illustrate the fact that there is an alternative to pouring tons on money on vaccine research or bed nets. Yes, these may result in cool scientific discoveries or provide excellent opportunities for social scientists to get published on their RCT findings. But the reality is that millions of people are still dying.
Instead of asking those living in high disease burden environments to change their behaviors and sleep under mosquito nets, how about we get rid of the mosquitoes??
If it worked in the American South, and many other places, why can't it work in Africa?
I would very much love to live in a place free of malaria. Because of my age and health, my malaria infection at the end of summer was a mere nuisance – mild aches and fatigue. But for millions of children and post-natal mothers across much of tropical Africa malaria is a fatal disease.
But is DDT the answer? Haven't we been made to internalize the evils of DDT?
It turns out that what we know about DDT might not be the whole truth. As Gourevitch argues, the environmental impact of DDT might have been overblown by the environmentalists.
Writes Gourevitch:
"Around the same time, the U.S. government launched an ambitious DDT-centered malaria eradication project which by the early '60s had virtually eliminated malaria from Southern Europe, the Caribbean, and parts of East and South Asia. (In India, for example, annual deaths went from 800,000 to zero.) At the time, DDT was thought to be such an effective and useful substance that in 1948, Muller received a Nobel Prize in medicine. "To only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT," declared the National Academy of Sciences in a report in 1970. "In little more than two decades, DDT has prevented 500 million human deaths, due to malaria.""
Adding that:
"But over the years, mainstream scientific opinion has absolved DDT of many of its supposed sins. Indeed, the Stockholm Convention partially backfired because it brought to light a slew of studies and literature reviews which contradicted the conventional wisdom on DDT. Like nearly any chemical, DDT is harmful in high enough doses. But when it comes to the kinds of uses once permitted in the United States and abroad, there's simply no solid scientific evidence that exposure to DDT causes cancer or is otherwise harmful to human beings……
Not a single study linking DDT exposure to human toxicity has ever been replicated."
But even assuming that the effects were as bad as they were claimed to be, shouldn't we as humans be able to decide on the relative importance of human lives versus bald eagles?
How many children should be allowed to die so that bird watchers can better enjoy their Sunday afternoons?

Tents raised as Middleboro readies for historic vote
"Wow," said Lorraine Reilly as she watched the third of four huge white tents being raised on the 25-acre high school field Thursday.
The tents frame the field where 7,000 or more voters are set to vote on a landmark agreement to develop an Indian gaming casino in town.
"You know the whole world will be here on Saturday," said Reilly, a 35-year resident.
The town meeting will make history, not only for its size but for its purpose. If approved, this would open the door for casino gambling, but it would only become a reality if the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs approves the sovereignty of the land for the recently-recognized Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, the governor enters into a state compact with the tribe and the Legislature approves Class 3 gaming.
"Like it or not, I think it's a better deal for us," said Reilly.
"This is probably the best thing that could ever happen," said lifelong resident Charlene Brooks, who plans to attend Saturday's town meeting after sending her children to a relative's house in nearby Lakeville.
Brooks said the casino will bring jobs and revenue and she rejects reports that it will also bring crime and other social issues.
Tara Rose, a lifelong resident and mother of two, has not taken a position on the casino and will not attend town meeting.
"If child care was available, I'd be more apt to go," Rose said.
Children and pets are not welcome at town meeting, where security will be tight, access restricted and details important.
Moderator James V. Thomas did not appear flustered by the attention the meeting is getting in the media, on Beacon Hill and in communities throughout the region.
"This is, after all, just another town meeting," the 71-year-old moderator said. "It's huge in its importance and controversy, but it is just another town meeting."
His comments came before an hour-long, closed-door meeting Thursday at which security was the center of discussion. Sitting before a site map, the panel of police, fire, school and town officials discussed the logistics of moving thousands of people to the site, properly registering voters, providing information through speakers and taking a vote.
"It's going to progress naturally," Thomas said, mapping plans for action on three articles:
- Report of the Casino Gambling Study Committee.
- Casino agreement between the town and the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe.
- Position on a casino in town.
Despite the planning, there are many unknowns:
- The number of voters who turn out.
- How long the meeting will last.
- The weather, which is the most important according to Thomas.
"They're promising thunder showers," Thomas said. "I don't know how that would affect things."

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has abandoned all pretense of giving a shit about assisting Mitt Romney in toppling Barack Obama this year and has started running in earnest for 2016. This week, the same politician who expressed disdain for "the crazies" in his party flew to Iowa to cozy up to just that in the person of Iowa Congressman Steve King. The gentleman from Iowa has distinguished himself during his tenure in Congress as Iowa's chief race-baiter, birther, homophobe, misogynist and conspiracy theorist.
If Christie is to have any hope of making inroads with the Hawkeye state's fringe Right, the path to power goes directly through Western Iowa's Birther King. The lamestream media would do well to pay attention to how their right-wing golden boy compromises his integrity and jettisons his moderation in the pursuit of the 2016 Republican Presidential Nomination. Dostoevsky said it best, "Power is only given to those who lower themselves to pick it up." I can think of nothing lower than fundraising for and extoling the virtues of a bigoted troglodyte like Steve King.

IRWINDALE>> The city Monday asked a Superior Court judge to halt operations at the Huy Fong Foods factory, which produces the popular Sriracha hot chili sauce, according to a source with knowledge of the litigation.
The lawsuit — and request for injunction — follows several complaints of smells emanating from the plant on North Azusa Canyon Road, the source said.
Irwindale City Councilman H. Manuel Ortiz said he's received "numerous" calls from residents all over the city complaining about the smells.
"We're hoping to work with the company, with the manufacturing company, to minimize the smell or to completely get rid of that smell," Ortiz said.
Several residents showed up to a City Council meeting last week to complain about the odors, according to the city clerk's office.
Ortiz said the Council asked city staff to work with Huy Fong officials.
"I'm sure that we'll find a solution and hopefully it'll be soon," he said.
Huy Fong officials could not be immediately reached for comment Monday night.
The City Council held a special closed session meeting last week to address potential litigation with Huy Fong Foods.
The public nuisance complaint filed Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court demands the company halt operations the facility until it no longer produces the "strong, offensive chili odor," CBS News Los Angeles reported on its website Monday evening.
"The odors are so strong and offensive as to have caused residents to move outdoor activities indoors and even to vacate their residences temporarily to seek relief from the odors," according to the suit, CBS reported.
Citing the suit, CBS reported Huy Fong officials were at first cooperating with the city, but talks broke down last week after company officials denied a smell existed.
Huy Fong opened its $40 million, 650,000-square-foot factory this summer. The building was constructed in 2011 with the help of city of Irwindale redevelopment funds.
The hot chili sauce with the green lid and a roster on its bottle is hugely popular. The company sold 20 million bottles last year, according to Businessweek.
The sauce is sold in every U.S. state and every continent across the globe.
The first-ever Sriracha Festival held in L.A. this weekend drew more than 800 people.
Huy Fong has operated out of two buildings in Rosemead since the late 1980s.
Complaints of smells from the factory has been ongoing, records show.
Irwindale's Director of Community Development and Planning Ken Lee told the Council at a Dec. 12 meeting, residents have complained about "irritated throats and burning sensations in their eyes," allegedly caused by the odors from the factory.
He said Huy Fong representatives were very receptive to the concerns and contacted the Air Quality Management District, which recommended they install an air filtration system to prevent additional issues.
The 12-week chili harvest season begins in the late August or early September.

GENERIC NAME: NAPHAZOLINE/PHENIRAMINE - OPHTHALMIC (naf-AZ-oh-leen/fen-IR-a-meen)
BRAND NAME(S): Naphcon-A, Opcon-A
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to temporarily relieve eye redness, puffiness, itching, and watering that commonly occur with allergies. Naphazoline is a decongestant. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetic amines. It works by temporarily narrowing the blood vessels in the eye. Pheniramine is an antihistamine. It works by blocking certain natural substances (histamines) that cause allergic symptoms.Do not use this medication to treat redness and irritation from wearing contact lenses.
HOW TO USE: To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.Remove contact lenses before applying the eye drops. Wait at least 10 minutes after using this medication before inserting contact lenses. If your eyes are red, ask your doctor whether you should wear your contact lenses.Before using, check this product visually. Do not use if the liquid has changed color or is cloudy. Discard the medication away from children and pets.Use this medication in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times a day as needed or as directed by your doctor. Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over the eye and place 1 drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye. Try not to blink and do not rub the eye. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than 1 drop and for the other eye if so directed.Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap tightly after each use.If you are using another kind of eye medication (e.g., drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the drops to enter the eye.Overuse of this type of medication may result in increased eye redness (rebound effect when drug wears off). If this occurs, tell your doctor. Do not use this medication for longer than 3 to 4 days at a time. If your condition persists or worsens after 72 hours, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, stop using this medication and seek immediate medical attention.

However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects.

5-year-old boy shoots 2-year-old sister in Ky.
BURKESVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A 5-year-old boy accidentally shot his 2-year-old sister to death in rural southern Kentucky with a rifle he had received as a gift last year, authorities said.
The children's mother was home at the time of the shooting Tuesday afternoon but had stepped out to the front porch for a few minutes and "she heard the gun go off," Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said. He said the rifle was kept in a corner and the family didn't realize a bullet was left inside it.
White told the Lexington Herald-Leader the boy received the .22-caliber rifle as a gift.
"It's a Crickett," White said, referring to a company that specifically makes guns, clothes and books for children. "It's a little rifle for a kid. ... The little boy's used to shooting the little gun."
The shooting, while accidental, highlights a cultural divide in the gun debate. While many suburban and urban areas work to keep guns out of the hands of children, it's not uncommon for youths in rural areas to own guns for target practice and hunting.
"Down in Kentucky where we're from, you know, guns are passed down from generation to generation. You start at a young age with guns for hunting and everything," White said Wednesday. What is more unusual than a child having a gun, he said, is "that a kid would get shot with it."
"Accidents happen with guns. They thought the gun was actually unloaded, and it wasn't," the coroner said.
White said the girl died of a single gunshot wound to the chest area.
In a brief news release, state police said the shooting occurred when the boy was "playing" with the rifle, but did not elaborate. It is not clear whether any charges will be filed, said Kentucky State Police spokesman Trooper Billy Gregory.
"I think it's too early to say whether there will or won't be," Gregory said.
The AP is not identifying the children because of their ages.
The company that made the gun, Milton, Pa.-based Keystone Sporting Arms, produced 60,000 Crickett and Chipmunk rifles in 2008, according to its website. It also makes guns for adults, but most of its products are geared toward children. The smaller guns come in all sorts of colors, including blue and pink.
The company's slogan is "my first rifle" and its website has a "Kids Corner" section where pictures of young boys and girls are displayed, most of them showing the children at shooting ranges and on bird and deer hunts. The smaller rifles are sold with a mount to use at a shooting range.
"The goal of KSA is to instill gun safety in the minds of youth shooters and encourage them to gain the knowledge and respect that hunting and shooting activities require and deserve," the website said.
No one at the company answered the phone Wednesday.
According to its website, Bill McNeal and his son Steve McNeal decided to make guns for young shooters in the mid-1990s and opened Keystone in 1996 with just four employees, producing 4,000 rifles that year. It now employs about 70 people.
Burkesville sits near the Tennessee-Kentucky state line along the Cumberland River, among the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The small city is about 90 miles northeast of Nashville, Tenn.
It is home to a Mennonite community that gained attention in 2010 when nine of its members were killed in a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer.

How can the U.S. and other nations end the plunder in the Gulf of Aden? What can prevent another hijacking like that of the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates?
John Sledge says in the Mobile Press-Register that anyone hoping to learn from history might track down The Barbary Coast: Algeria Under the Turks, "a highly readable and thorough examination of the problem of piracy off the North African coast from the 16th through the 19th centuries," by the historian John B. Wolfe:
"Though the modern situation in Somalia differs significantly, there are also striking similarities, and Wolf's relating of the European and subsequent American diplomatic and military efforts in Algeria is highly instructive."
Sledge adds that by the early 19th century, Barbary pirates had learned how to wrest ransom or protection money from European governments reluctant to become entangled in the politics of the outlaws' Algerian ports. Then thieves began taking U.S. merchant ships in the Mediterranean. As the Europeans had done, the Americans struck deals with the pirates. But when Thomas Jefferson became president, he refused to pay, and the country's vessels became more vulnerable. Some relief came after Commodore Stephen Decatur sailed into the Mediterranean and, by showing U.S. military muscle, ended the practice paying tribute to thieves:
"The piracy problem was finally resolved for everyone in 1830, when the French moved into Algeria and occupied it for the next century and more. As Wolf explains, the French brought 'modern economic order, more rational urbanization, extended education and public health services, and a greater respect for the rule of law.
"If Wolf's book is any guide, the Somali problem will not be resolved unless and until a comparable across-the-board commitment is forthcoming. The chances of the United States spearheading such an effort, with the billions of dollars no doubt required, are slim …"
Sledges's review isn't online, but I'll add a link if or when it appears.
The Associated Press has posted this report on the two staff members of Doctors Without Borders kidnapped today in Somalia.

- Unpack the tar file (yes, this assumes a Unix system; sorry about that (how to unpack a tar file in windows)):
tar xzf PACKAGE-VERSION.tar.gz
- Move into the directory this creates:
cd PACKAGE-VERSION
- In order to install a package globally, perform the following commands (see the Cabal documentation for more details):
runhaskell Setup configure
runhaskell Setup build
- On a Unix or Linux system:
sudo runhaskell Setup install
- Windows (login with administrator rights):
runhaskell Setup install
- If instead of installing globally, you just wish to install a package for your normal user account, you could instead use the following
configurecommand, which would register the install in the user-specific database and install binaries and libraries in $HOME/bin, $HOME/lib, and so forth (Windows users replace $HOME with %home%):
runhaskell Setup configure --user --prefix=$HOME
- (Note that in Cabal 1.4 onwards, you may omit the
--prefix=$HOME, since
--prefix=$HOME/.cabalis now implied by
--user. Also note that you can omit
sudoin the install statement if you use this method.)
- You can get more information about any of these commands by adding
--helpafter the command. For example, to see all the options available for the
configurestep, you could use the following command:
runhaskell Setup configure --help
- If you encounter unsatisfied dependencies when you run the configure step, that is when you recurse and first install the missing package.
- If you have more than one Haskell compiler on your system, use the
--with-compileroption for the
configurestep. That will ensure that Cabal uses the correct compiler during the entire installation process. For example:
runhaskell Setup configure --with-compiler=ghc-6.8.2
runhaskell Setup build
- On a Unix or Linux system:
sudo runhaskell Setup install
- Windows (login with administrator rights):
runhaskell Setup install
